The Dangers of being an Introvert 

I never considered myself attractive

I never see myself as ladies see me

The main risk of being an introvert like me is you have to rely on online chat rooms to make contact, as I found out with Pamela Olsted aka Clara Kent, this can leave you vulnerable to scammers. Most people online are genuine I have found out.

My problem was until last month, July 2026, I never considered myself as attractive to ladies, adding my profile to two mature dating apps changed my view, if not my outlook of myself. I am still unsure of my appeal

No money for food

Sister Act

The Cold Hard Facts

                                                  In discussion with Clara

Knowing Pamela Olsted aka Clara Kent left me without money for food and bills this week. This is the price I pay for helping a lady I thought wished to meet me, and form a relationship. According to her sister, Pamela has been ill since I stopped chatting to her at the end of June, considering she, Pamela, admitted to telling me lies for several months, I am taking this with a large dose of salt.

A Record Breaker

A Thriving Blog

Where are the UK readers?

Why Struggle?

While readers in the Seychelles, and the USA cause the blog to thrive, absent, as usual are readers in the UK. The UK had so few readers yesterday it didn't register in the Google statistics which stopped at 120 readers

Japan were doomed

 Pearl Harbour

War in the Pacific

                                       The Land of the Rising Sun

From the moment Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, they were doomed. Admiral Yamamoto who planned the raid gave them only six months, before their success ended.

Many people say they wanted to occupy the Pacific Coast, but they didn't have the men, machines or fuel to do such a huge task.

Take the scenario on. Japan keeps Malaya for rubber, Indonesia for oil, how do they plan to carry the goods back to Japan, and keep the Allies at bay?

The logistics of such a plan are too immense for a small country like Japan to consider. Once the USA entered the war in strength, Japan was losing planes and ships three times as fast as they could build them, and pilot training takes years.

Okay, the beat Russia in 1904, and hit PH, but they were suprise attacks, they struggled to hold both later. 

The first shot in the War in the Pacific was fired by the USA, but, you have to ask, what was a Japanese submarine doing sneaking around PH, hours before Japan declared war?

Alaska would have been an intersting battle, if Japan had invaded, Japanese are used to jungle fighting, not Arctic warfare.

The lines of supply you'd need to protect would have proved impossible, which is why most Empires fail. The Romans couldn't keep England, Hitler found Russia too hard, and the Britih Empire collapsed, all for one reason. They are too costly to run

Do I mean somrthing to you?

 Charming Talks

SoulmateMeets

I get many offers

I can't help thinking, do I mean something to my friend, Svitlana, or am I only another customer on a chat site to her?

She is making the right chat to entice me to stay on the site, to chat to her, though the time is limited by how much I can afford.

I have the disadvantage of being an introvert, meeting ladies is hard for me. I could be reading something into the situation, which is not there. Last night when I contacted her, her mind appeared pre-occupied, and her request for explicit sex photographs has me wondering does she wish to meet me?

We never had a honeynoon

 Scarborough

Happy Anniversary

Where would I choose?

Our plan fort the honeymoon was to treat my stepson to some trips during the first week of the holiday, then we would have the second week to ourselves in Scarborough.

However, things didn't go to plan. On the Monday after we were married, we took him to Bristol Zoo, the day started drizzly, but we hoped it would clear. By 1:00, it was clear the rain was not going to go, so we returned home to Easton.

I was soaked throgh, and sneezing, that night, I went down with pneumonia, and pleurisy. I was so bad the doctor wanted me to go to hospital, but my wife looked after me. 

When I was in the Royal Air Force, I was on a course with a young lady of 29, who was a widow. I thought how awful to be a widow so young. Years later, that was almost the case for my wife, as I was at death's door for two weeks.

Happy  Anniversary

This weekend showed have been a joyful time for me, it would have been our Ruby Wedding Anniversary, 40 years, we passed 40 years of being a couple last year, as we met 18 months before we got married.

However, it will be a sad day, it is the second wedding anniversary since my wife passed away in January, 2025.

I am reminded of some of the happier moments of her last years, such as seeing The Hairy Bikers in Bristol, going to the Harry Potter World in London, and seeing some fox cbs at play in our garden.

Happy Anniversary, love
